00:00What are you doing here?
00:19I just want to see how you're doing.
00:21Never better.
00:24Right.
00:25Now if I come in, maybe we could talk.
00:26I heard you've been skipping physical therapy.
00:28So?
00:30Why do you care all of a sudden?
00:32I've been thinking a lot over the last few months about how I handle things between us.
00:38And I'm ashamed.
00:39My mama, she taught me how to beat a bigger man, and I fell down.
00:43And I heard you've been trying to make amends with people, and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:51With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito from El Plateau.
00:55Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
01:17Oh, God, I hope not.
01:18What?
01:19I don't think so.
01:24I found the bacon.
01:25Fake bacon.
01:26Great.
01:29You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:31After work, I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:35And by finish, I mean start.
01:37Oh, well, I mean...
01:38Sorry.
01:38Sorry.
01:39I think we're making progress.
01:43You know?
01:44Living in takes time.
01:46It only takes as much time as you let it.
01:48I moved constantly when I was in the army.
01:51Here's what I learned.
01:52If it's not unpacked in 48 hours, it will never be unpacked.
01:55If art sits on the floor longer than two days, it lives there now.
01:58Oh, we're well past that.
01:59I'm aware.
02:00This is killing you, isn't it?
02:03I think we should buckle down and get it done.
02:07Okay.
02:12I'm sorry.
02:13It's just...
02:14It won't feel like you've fully moved in until the boxes are gone.
02:20That's nice.
02:20Look, if we rush the process, we're just going to make a mistake that we'll have to go back
02:26and fix later.
02:26So trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the
02:33long run.
02:34Okay.
02:38Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep, you know?
02:42I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:44Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center, even if it's just to find a place
02:49to sleep.
02:50You don't understand that.
02:52All right.
02:54Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:55Oh, okay.
02:58Face the camera.
02:59Stand still.
03:01To your right.
03:03I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked, so it's fine, you know?
03:06And I'm sorry, I just got really desperate for...
03:11Am I going to jail or...
03:14You know, you're probably going to sight out in just a couple of hours.
03:17Okie dokie.
03:19Is there any food?
03:21Um, just, I haven't eaten in a while.
03:23Uh, not normally, but I can go check the break room for you.
03:26All right, thank you.
03:27I appreciate that.
03:32I'd offer you something to drink, but both glasses are dirty.
03:36Oh, I can't help with that.
03:37No.
03:37Hey, no, no, no, that's, that's, um, that's okay.
03:39You don't have to do that.
03:40Oh, it's no problem.
03:41You know, a clean space, it, it really helps.
03:44Trust me.
03:44You know, after I blew out my knee in my place, it looked like a tornado tore through a, a frat house.
03:50I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression until, uh, my mama came over and insisted on cleaning.
03:57That's okay, you're not my mom.
03:58You're not my mom.
03:59I can, I can do that myself.
04:01What I'm trying to say is, you know, I've been where you, where you are.
04:09After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
04:11You know, I couldn't play football against a wide body.
04:14Professionally.
04:15You can never do it again professionally.
04:17Right.
04:19It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
04:21I, like, I majored in physical.
04:22Can you please just shut up?
04:23You hurt your knee.
04:24I lost my leg.
04:26I'm not saying it's, it's the same.
04:28Yes, you are, Miles.
04:29You didn't go to the NFL.
04:31You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:34But you can still run.
04:36What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:40I think we started off on the wrong foot.
05:03I didn't mean anything by that.
05:05You're right.
05:06I don't know what you're going through.
05:09But I want to.
05:11So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:18Oh, no.
05:19What?
05:21Today is my wedding anniversary, and I totally spaced.
05:25Oh, yeah, that's not great.
05:26But Wesley must have forgot, too,
05:28if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
05:29No.
05:30Wesley remembers everything about us.
05:32If Wesley remembers everything,
05:33and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning,
05:36then that means...
05:37because it was a test and I failed.
05:39Wow.
05:40What?
05:49Nolan.
05:54Yeah, what's up?
05:55You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Kane?
05:57Well, that's the name he gave me.
05:59He didn't have any ID, though.
06:00There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
06:04A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
06:07Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
06:10They found her bloody clothes a week later, but no burial sites.
06:13All they had was a fingerprint that didn't match anything in the system.
06:16Until I ran Ezra Kane's.
06:17Yeah.
06:18The victims were the Poston family.
06:19Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
06:20They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
06:21The working theory is the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night,
06:23killed the father immediately, and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:25Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods and killed there.
06:29So what do we have in our suspect?
06:30Literally nothing.
06:31He says his name is Ezra Kane.
06:32That could be an alias.
06:33I caught him trespassing at the Willoughby Rec Center in the early morning.
06:36He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:37Any ID?
06:38No.
06:39He had a little bit of cash on him.
06:40And a bunch of cash on him.
06:41And a bunch of cash on him.
06:42He was able to get out of the cold.
06:43And a bunch of cash on him.
06:44And a bunch of cash on him.
06:46And a bunch of cash on him.
06:47And a bunch of cash on his cash.
06:49I've got a lot of cash on him.
06:50And he said he just got a lot of cash on him.
06:52So what did you think?
06:54That's a good idea.
06:57What's up?
06:58and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
07:01Haven't run them yet, but we can assume they're stolen.
07:03Any in the name of the murdered family?
07:04No.
07:05So how do you want to handle this?
07:08We have a window here.
07:10He doesn't know that we have connected him to the murders.
07:13He still thinks that he is here on trespassing charges.
07:15And it's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
07:19So you should do the interview.
07:22Mm-hmm.
07:23Right.
07:26Okay.
07:28Any advice?
07:33I mean, you read him his rights.
07:35Yeah, but not for this.
07:36That doesn't matter.
07:37As long as he acknowledged, didn't ask for an attorney,
07:39anything you get in your questioning, it's admissible.
07:41The key is not to push.
07:43Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:46Okay, the second that he suspects that you are on to the murders,
07:49he's going to bail.
07:49Got it?
07:50Got it.
07:53Um, can someone track down a sandwich,
07:56give me five or ten, and then bring it in?
07:57Smart.
07:58Can do.
07:58Okay.
07:59Remember, go easy.
08:00The more comfortable he feels, the better the chance he slips up.
08:03Understood.
08:04Right, but not too easy,
08:05because we don't want him to feel like he's being handled with kid gloves.
08:08It's Goldilocks, this thing.
08:09Mm-hmm.
08:10Yeah.
08:10Hey, sorry to keep you waiting.
08:32Sorry, I thought you said I was going to side out?
08:35Yeah, um, I know, but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things,
08:41credit cards that do not belong to you.
08:43Yeah, I found them, um, not all at the same time.
08:48You know, like, along the way, people drop them, people throw them out by accident,
08:52and I know, you know, it was wrong to use them.
08:57I just, I get so hungry.
08:59Yeah, I get it, but I'm just going to need some clarity before I make a recommendation to the DA's office.
09:05Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
09:09Could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony.
09:11Now, I want to recommend the former, but I can't do that unless you are straight with me.
09:17No, I'm, I'm an open book.
09:20Okay, well, let's get started.
09:23Uh, I'm sorry.
09:25I tend to, uh, default towards disorganized,
09:29which is why I'm still in patrol and not a fancy detective.
09:34Don't get me wrong.
09:34I actually love working the streets,
09:36but, uh, every day is unique, and I meet some fascinating people.
09:41Like me.
09:42Yes.
09:43We'll see.
09:45Okay.
09:46Your name is Ezra Kane,
09:49but you declined to give me a date of birth or social security number
09:52or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity,
09:56and if you want the DA's office to play nice, that is not going to fly.
10:00Would you believe I don't know the first and I don't have the second?
10:04No.
10:04Yeah.
10:05I didn't get the best start in life.
10:08Didn't know Dad.
10:09Mom OD'd when I was, like, a baby.
10:12If I had a birth certificate,
10:14she probably used it to roll the blunts.
10:17Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade,
10:21and at some point somebody just picked a birthday for me,
10:25and, uh, I, it, whatever it is, it can't be right.
10:29What, what, what was it?
10:30I think it's, like, January 6th of 82 or maybe 83.
10:34Okay, and where are you born in Los Angeles?
10:39Hmm.
10:40Were you?
10:41You know, I don't get a California vibe.
10:43Oh.
10:44East Coast.
10:45Pennsylvania.
10:46Right.
10:46That makes more sense.
10:48I'm from Idaho.
10:49I got to say growing up in Idaho was pretty hard.
10:52Hi, this is Detective Angela Lopez, Los Angeles Police Department.
10:56I need to run an Idaho record search.
10:59Last name, Kane with a K, first name Ezra.
11:02Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83,
11:05but to be safe, search birth dates from 88 to 78.
11:08Good news.
11:09Thanks.
11:09The cold helped the swelling go down when I caught a beating.
11:13Well, I guess, and that's why you moved to Southern California,
11:16if not so that you could just warm up a little bit.
11:19When was that?
11:21I'm sorry.
11:22I thought we were talking about credit cards.
11:25Yeah.
11:25No, listen.
11:26We're getting there.
11:28Establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA,
11:32but if you are in a hurry, I can just recommend felony,
11:35and you can wait in your cell.
11:36No.
11:37No need to be like that.
11:38I-I...
11:39Yeah.
11:40Um...
11:41I just...
11:43I'm not used to people taking an interest,
11:45and I guess, uh, it's just not easy stuff to talk about.
11:50All right.
11:52Excuse me.
11:57Ah, Jen.
11:58Thank you very much.
11:59Got to do something more substantive to eat.
12:01Great.
12:03Okay.
12:04Let's get to the credit cards.
12:06Yeah?
12:08Great.
12:09Thanks.
12:10We have the credit card records.
12:11Okay.
12:11All right.
12:17Only two cards have recent activity on them.
12:19One was used two nights ago at the Hollywood Premier Motel,
12:23and a dollar amount suggests that he still has the room.
12:26Hot damn.
12:30It's everyone's worst nightmare,
12:32waking up in the middle of the night
12:33to find a psychopath in your house.
12:35Yeah.
12:36And yet, it's statistically the least likely way
12:38to get murdered by a psychopath.
12:39I guess we both have some painful experience there.
12:43Is there a problem?
12:45Hi.
12:46Have you seen this man?
12:50Room 216.
12:51So, you know, we've never really talked about
12:53what happened to you.
12:55Not that we should have,
12:56but, you know,
12:57just with my sister's case and everything,
13:00I think you've been all up in my trauma,
13:02and...
13:02You know what?
13:04I'm sorry.
13:05I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:06All right.
13:07Listen, it's fine.
13:08It's natural to be curious.
13:09I just have no interest in revisiting
13:10that particular trauma, so...
13:12Copy.
13:17Police!
13:21Come out with your hands empty
13:23and keep them where I can see them.
13:27Clear.
13:28There's nowhere for you to go.
13:40Come out.
13:45All right.
13:46Step out.
13:46No.
13:47You need to go.
13:49Yeah, we're not gonna do that.
13:50Come out of the tub, please.
13:52I'm fine.
13:53He's gonna come back.
13:57You have to go.
13:59He's going to come back.
14:01You...
14:02You have to go.
14:04You have to go.
14:06Please.
14:07Is your name Samantha?
14:10Please, just...
14:12Samantha.
14:14Samantha, the man who took you,
14:16he's in custody.
14:17He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
14:19I promise.
14:27It is not fair.
14:28I came clean to everyone.
14:30I've confessed every lie,
14:32every sin,
14:33and nobody's forgiven me
14:35for anything that I've done.
14:37Half the people that I called,
14:38they hang up on me.
14:40My dad...
14:41My dad won't even take my calls.
14:42You really haven't changed, though.
14:46Excuse me?
14:46You're doing the same thing
14:47you always have.
14:48You're not considering
14:49anyone else's experience.
14:51You lied to everyone
14:53about almost everything
14:54over and over again.
14:56Now you don't get to set the bar
14:58on how people react
14:59when you finally tell them the truth.
15:01What you did hurt the people
15:03who cared about you,
15:04and it's gonna take a lot more
15:05than an apology tour to fix that.
15:07I suck.
15:09I get it.
15:10Thanks for coming over
15:13to clear that up.
15:15I see you never.
15:15Thanks for breakfast.
15:16Get out of here.
15:23My parents.
15:24You have to call my parents.
15:25You have to tell them
15:26that I'm okay.
15:28Yeah, of course.
15:29The doctors will take good care of you.
15:31Please.
15:35She doesn't know they're dead.
15:38I mean, he kept her isolated.
15:40She only knows what he told her.
15:41Well, I shouldn't have said yes.
15:42I-I-I wasn't thinking.
15:44Hey, look.
15:44It was instinct, all right?
15:45Try not to beat yourself up.
15:47She's in shock.
15:48It wasn't the moment
15:48to add more trauma.
15:49It'll be fine.
15:57You haven't eaten much.
15:58Problem with the sandwich?
15:59No, no.
15:59This is great.
16:00I'm just...
16:01You know what it is?
16:01I'm a little claustrophobic.
16:03Spent a lot of nights
16:04as a kid locked up
16:05in small spaces.
16:07Sorry to interrupt.
16:08Uh, can I steal you for a sec?
16:09Of course.
16:10Excuse me.
16:12Lucy and Selena
16:13just found Samantha Poston
16:15inside Ezra's motel room.
16:18Is she, uh...
16:19She's alive
16:19and in no immediate medical danger.
16:22But beyond that...
16:23Okay, so are you
16:25taking over the interview?
16:26Not yet.
16:26There's still room for you
16:27to squeeze in
16:27before everything comes out
16:28into the open.
16:29Go back in there
16:30and turn up the heat.
16:31Tell them we found
16:31a few recent charges
16:32on the various cards.
16:34Mention the motel,
16:35but not like we've gone there
16:36or even that we will
16:37and let's just see what happens.
16:41Right.
16:44This changes the profile,
16:46doesn't it?
16:47He kept that girl
16:48for three years.
16:49That...
16:50He's not just a murderer.
16:52No.
16:53He's worse.
16:53Sorry about that.
17:03Yeah, everything okay?
17:06I'm gonna be straight
17:07with you, Ezra.
17:08We ran those credit cards
17:10and we found
17:11some recent charges,
17:12one of them being
17:13to a motel
17:14in Tytown.
17:16Whoa, whoa, hold on.
17:18When was the motel, uh, booked?
17:20Because that wasn't me.
17:22Yeah, I mean...
17:22Why would I
17:23take refuge
17:24in a rec center
17:25if I had a place to sleep?
17:28So you're telling me
17:29if I went to this motel
17:30with your photograph
17:31you would not be recognized?
17:33Absolutely not.
17:34No.
17:36I don't know why
17:36you would waste your time
17:37doing that.
17:38I mean, surely the LAPD
17:39has better things to do
17:41than spend resources
17:42on a wobbler
17:43that's 100%
17:45gonna plead out.
17:48Call him my bluff.
17:49Look, I know
17:50I've got a job to do.
17:51I'm just a guy
17:54trying to
17:55make his way
17:57in an unfair world
17:58without hurting anyone.
18:02Can you explain
18:03something for me?
18:05Why didn't she leave?
18:05Yeah.
18:06I mean, I know
18:07what they taught us
18:07in the academy,
18:08but, I mean,
18:09he left her alone
18:10for at least 12 hours.
18:11It's the opposite
18:12of fight or flight.
18:13You know,
18:14it's freeze and appease.
18:15You saw how scared
18:16she was of him.
18:17That level of fear,
18:18it's her primary motivator.
18:20Maybe her only one.
18:24Hey.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:26I wish I could let you rest,
18:27but I need to ask you
18:29some questions
18:29before the detectives
18:30conduct a more formal interview.
18:33Okay.
18:34Okay.
18:34I can't imagine
18:44how overwhelming
18:45the last hour has been,
18:46so I'm not gonna assume
18:47that you remember anything,
18:48all right?
18:49The man who took you,
18:50we have him in custody.
18:52Ezra Kane is the name
18:53that he's using.
18:54Is that how you name him?
18:54I'm not supposed
18:55to talk about him.
18:56Who said that?
18:57Him?
18:57Yeah, I get it.
19:00Samantha,
19:02you're safe now.
19:04You are.
19:09Did you talk to my parents?
19:11Are they coming?
19:15Samantha,
19:15I'm very sorry,
19:17but your parents are deceased.
19:20No.
19:22No.
19:23I'm so sorry.
19:23No.
19:23What happened to them?
19:25Did he kill them?
19:26No.
19:26No, they're alive.
19:28He said they have to be alive.
19:30He said that...
19:32Did he say he would hurt them
19:34if you didn't cooperate?
19:35Is that the threat he used
19:36to keep you with him?
19:44Yeah.
19:46Eamon.
19:47He made me call him Eamon,
19:50the seventh spirit.
19:53Marquis of hell.
19:56Who commands 40 legions.
20:00Including...
20:01The police.
20:05And he said...
20:07That I was his soulmate.
20:10None of that is true.
20:11Especially the police part,
20:13but it doesn't make any of that
20:14less terrifying.
20:17Do you remember the night
20:19that he took you?
20:19The screams woke me up.
20:28I thought it was the TV,
20:30so I went out into the hall
20:31just to ask my parents
20:33if they could turn it down.
20:38And there...
20:40there was this smell in the air
20:46and it just made the hair
20:48on the back of my neck stand up.
20:52So I called out
20:53and that's when he stepped into the hall.
20:56I couldn't really see him.
21:04But I just...
21:06I knew in my body
21:09that he was evil.
21:15Does that sound crazy?
21:16No.
21:19No.
21:23Where did he take you?
21:25A cabin in the woods.
21:27Or at least it used to be.
21:29I mean, I don't think anyone
21:31had lived there for years,
21:32but...
21:33that was my home
21:37for the next eight months.
21:40Do you remember
21:41why you guys moved?
21:43Winter came.
21:44He has this thing
21:45about being cold.
21:48And by then...
21:49by then he knew
21:50I wasn't gonna run.
21:53Okay.
21:55I think I have
21:56what I need for now.
21:58I'm gonna let you
21:59get some rest, okay?
22:00Uh, he...
22:03he bought a car
22:04after we got to L.A.
22:07I don't...
22:08I don't know if that matters.
22:09Yeah, no.
22:10It sure does.
22:10Do you remember
22:11what kind of car it was?
22:13Um, it...
22:14it was old.
22:15Four doors.
22:17Black.
22:18So he would have taken that
22:19car when he left
22:20the motel then?
22:21Yeah.
22:22Did he tell you
22:22where he was going?
22:23No.
22:24He just said that
22:25he may be a while.
22:27Mm-hmm.
22:28And, uh...
22:29that he would
22:31punish me
22:32if I wasn't
22:32a good girl.
22:38Did he say
22:38something else,
22:40Samantha?
22:44He said
22:45he was getting
22:45ready for
22:46after.
22:47After?
22:48After what?
22:49I thought he meant...
22:51I thought
22:54he meant
22:54after me.
22:56You felt like
22:56he was getting
22:57ready to kill you?
22:59and part of me
23:02was really relieved
23:04because...
23:06because at least
23:07it would finally
23:08be over.
23:09I thought
23:20I thought
23:20I would...
23:22get
23:23Hey, Scott to the motel.
23:46Lucy called.
23:47She interviewed Samantha.
23:48Our guy's got a car.
23:49Make and model?
23:50Black four-door sedan.
23:51Old.
23:52It's not particularly helpful.
23:53Find any trophies in the room?
23:55Not yet.
23:56I'm waiting for TID to land before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
23:59But, you know, I did find some drawings that have me freaked out a little.
24:02Freaked you out?
24:03This I gotta see.
24:04Yeah, hold on.
24:12Yeah, that's not okay.
24:15Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
24:18Oh, yeah.
24:18No, that's not okay.
24:19No, but according to Lucy, it tracks.
24:22Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon, one of the marquees of hell.
24:30Everything okay?
24:33Yeah.
24:36I was wrong.
24:38This is taking too long, which means you did send somebody to the motel.
24:44Why would you waste your time with a transient who stole a bunch of credit cards?
24:50Well, this started long before we found out about the motel, Ezra.
24:55Fingerprints.
25:04Credit where credit's due.
25:06You've got that, oh, shucks, every man cop thing down, Pat, and I bought it for too long.
25:13That's on me.
25:14But I bet that there are cops way up higher on the food chain behind that mirror that are just dying to get in here.
25:22Little pigs.
25:26Little pigs.
25:27Get your asses in here.
25:31I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
25:34I'm ready for the main course.
25:37There they are.
25:40You must be the prosecutor.
25:42Wesley Evers.
25:43I'm Detective Lopez.
25:44This is Detective Harper.
25:45Is it okay if we call you Ezra, or do you prefer Amon?
25:49Someone's been talking out of school.
25:52I'm going to readvise you of your rights, including the right to have an attorney present.
25:57Not necessary yet.
25:58I'll let you know.
25:59Can I have a moment?
26:00Yeah.
26:02What?
26:03No goodbye?
26:09I'm going to go check out the rec center where I found him.
26:12Something isn't adding up.
26:13Agreed.
26:14But before you go, any insights that you might have from sitting two feet from him that might not have translated to us through the window?
26:21Yeah.
26:22When he was talking about the cold of his childhood, that was real.
26:25You want to get him on the saddle?
26:26Crank the AC.
26:27Love it.
26:34My janitor locked up just after 10 last night.
26:36The place was empty after that.
26:37Well, this place is huge.
26:39There's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road.
26:43All right.
26:45This is about where I saw him.
26:47He heard me coming, and then he took off that way through those doors.
27:02Got it.
27:05Car key.
27:07I must have ditched it when he heard me coming.
27:09So what hit?
27:10One reason I'm going to ditch the key is so you didn't find the car.
27:12Well, why?
27:13I don't know.
27:14Like I said, there were no cars here when I got here this morning.
27:17I scrubbed body cam.
27:18I scrubbed dash cam.
27:19No black sedan.
27:21Whoa.
27:22I got blood.
27:23There were no visible cuts on Ezra when I processed him.
27:28Right there.
27:29Have you always known you were one of the devil's minions?
27:33Or was that a later in life revelation?
27:35Oh, your disbelief in my truth, it makes no difference as long as Samantha believes that's
27:46all that matters.
27:47Yeah, that won't last.
27:48You don't control her anymore.
27:50Hmm, how little you know.
27:51I'm going to be with her until the day she dies, which was going to be today.
27:57You know why?
27:59It's the real reason I was trespassing this morning.
28:05Nolan.
28:05I have found a new soulmate.
28:17He's got another girl.
28:18All right, Julie Reed was reported missing at 4 a.m.
28:25after she failed to come home from a friend's house.
28:27According to her parents, she was back and forth between the two homes all the time,
28:31and her route took her right past the rec center.
28:33Sounds like he'd been watching her for a while, planning the perfect time and place to make
28:36his move.
28:37If the suspect's car was gone when Officer Nolan arrived this morning, Ezra must have
28:41left and came back.
28:42Why would he do that?
28:43My best guess is that he left something at the scene, most likely his makeshift wallet.
28:47He only realized it after he'd left, but went back for it because he knew it would connect
28:51him to the abduction.
28:52But with a wounded girl in the trunk, he was faced with a problem.
28:55It would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside.
28:58But that would have put him at a greater risk because if Julie was conscious and screaming
29:03her head off, it would draw a lot of attention.
29:04So he parked the car somewhere else, somewhere no one could hear her screaming, went back on
29:08foot.
29:09Right, but how far would he be comfortable walking?
29:1210 minutes, 20?
29:13The average walking pace of a healthy male is probably two and a half, three miles an
29:18hour.
29:18Any faster might draw a lot of attention.
29:20Okay, so to be safe, let's say three and a half miles per hour for a 20-minute walk.
29:25Which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius.
29:29It's clear from the volume of blood at the scene that she was badly wounded.
29:32She was left on her own somewhere over eight hours ago.
29:34Every further minute that passes reduces the likelihood we will find her alive.
29:42Where is Julie Reed?
29:44Oh, is that her name?
29:45No, because we were never properly introduced.
29:47Can you please turn the A.C. off?
29:50It's like a freezer in here.
29:52No problem.
29:52Just as soon as you tell us where she is.
29:54Hmm, you'd think I would trade my comfort for her after all you've seen of my sacrifice.
30:01No, no, I guess not.
30:02But what would you trade for her?
30:04Now that's an interesting question.
30:07Let's see.
30:08I would say a reduced sentence, but we all know that would be a hollow promise after all
30:14that I've done.
30:16Hmm.
30:17I would love to say a proper goodbye to fair Samantha.
30:21Not a chance in hell.
30:22That is a non-starter.
30:23There is no way we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl.
30:27I don't think you have a choice.
30:27I think you kind of have to ask her.
30:29No, we don't.
30:30Oh, yeah, no.
30:30I think, I think Samantha would disagree.
30:32Think about it.
30:34How is Samantha going to feel when Julie dies before you tell her and Samantha realizes
30:40she could have saved that poor girl?
30:43Huh.
30:44How about this?
30:45Let's give this a shot.
30:46Tell Samantha that Julie is near the red place.
30:49And if she just talks to me for one more minute, I-I will tell you where that is.
31:02Sorry to interrupt.
31:03I just need to borrow Sergeant Chen.
31:05Wait, did something happen?
31:06No, no, no.
31:07I just need her for a second.
31:08I'll be just outside, okay?
31:09I'm right here.
31:14Ezra took another girl before he was arrested.
31:17He says he'll tell us where she is if we let him talk to Samantha.
31:20No.
31:21Forget that.
31:21He doesn't want to help us.
31:23He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
31:25I agree.
31:25So do Lopez and Harper, but he says that the girl's being held near the red place.
31:30And if we told that to Samantha, then she'd agree to talk.
31:32No, we're not saying that to her, okay?
31:34It's a trick.
31:38Samantha, open the door.
31:40What happened?
31:41The red place?
31:42I mean, it's got to be some sort of trigger phrase.
31:44He spent three years convincing her that the police were in league with him,
31:47and she just heard us using his language.
31:49No!
31:50No!
31:50No!
31:50No!
31:50No!
31:50No!
31:50No!
31:51No!
31:52No!
31:52No!
31:52No!
31:53No!
31:54No!
31:55No!
31:56No!
31:57No!
31:58No!
31:59No!
32:00No!
32:00No!
32:01No!
32:02No!
32:03No!
32:04No!
32:05No!
32:06No!
32:06Please!
32:07I can't do it!
32:08I needed that!
32:09No!
32:10No!
32:10No!
32:11I needed that!
32:12No!
32:13I needed that!
32:14No!
32:15No!
32:16No!
32:17No!
32:18No!
32:19No!
32:207 Adam 20, no sign of suspect vehicle at 1900 to Hawthorne.
32:237 Adam 4, the truck's sighted 801 Mercury is empty in vehicles.
32:277 Lincoln 15, first five levels of Wilshire,
32:30office complex garage are clear.
32:32Moving to lower level.
32:33No.
32:34It seems to be a musical vehicle.
32:35Yes.
32:36Yes!
32:37Yes!
32:38Yes!
32:40Yes!
32:41Yes!
32:42You're a demon!
32:43Yes!
32:44Yes!
32:45Yes!
32:46No!
32:47Yes!
32:48Yes!
32:49Yes!
32:50Yes!
32:51Yes!
32:52Yes!
32:53Yes!
32:54Yes!
32:55Yes!
32:56Yes, yes.
32:57Julie, you in there?
33:20No, I'm not.
33:2317 to 15, I have her.
33:25Lower level of the garage.
33:26Send an ambulance now.
33:32Hey.
33:33Hey, Julie.
33:34I'm Officer Nolan.
33:36I'm here to help you.
33:37Now, I'm going to have to put some pressure on that wound to stop the bleeding, okay?
33:40But it is going to hurt.
33:42I am so sorry.
33:44Easy.
33:46I'm sorry.
33:47I'm sorry.
33:48I know.
33:48I know.
33:49You're doing great.
33:50You're doing great.
33:54She's right here.
33:55She just passed out.
33:57She's lost a lot of blood.
34:00Pulse is weak.
34:01She's in hypovolemic shock.
34:02We got to get her out of here.
34:13Nolan.
34:18Hey.
34:18Are you all right?
34:19Yeah, um, Julie just got out of surgery.
34:24They lost her on the table for a minute, but she pulled through, and she's recovering
34:27in the ICU.
34:28Thank God.
34:28Can I talk to her when she's ready?
34:32Uh, I'll ask.
34:34You know, we wouldn't have found her without you.
34:37You gave us the car.
34:38I said it had wheels.
34:39And that it was black and old.
34:42I meant it.
34:43She is alive because of you.
34:45Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
34:51I'll, uh, I'll come talk to you guys later.
34:53Yeah.
34:59Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?
35:01Um, okay.
35:16What was the, um, the red place?
35:21There was this house that we stayed at early on.
35:25They had painted the bathroom red.
35:27So when I was bad, he would take me in there to punish me.
35:39I know you're not ready to hear this, um, but when it's time, the first step of your recovery
35:46will be to stop blaming yourself.
35:50Sure.
35:51On it.
35:52I know.
35:53I know.
35:53It's easier said than done, but...
35:57I know what I'm talking about, you know.
35:59I want to share something with you, something that happened to me, if that's okay.
36:05Yeah.
36:06Um, so my rookie year as a cop, I met this guy.
36:10And he loved dogs, and he was cute, and he seemed great.
36:14Um, we went on a date, and he kidnapped me.
36:19The details are a lot, but the short version is that I thought I was going to die in another
36:29five minutes, and I probably would have.
36:32For months afterwards, I just obsessed about every second with him before he drugged me,
36:37how I should have seen through him, how I should have been faster, smarter.
36:41I wanted to believe that I was in control, but I wasn't.
36:51So eventually, I stopped focusing on the things that I didn't do, and I focused on the thing
36:56that I did.
36:58I survived.
37:00You survived.
37:02Samantha, you're here.
37:03I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are, okay?
37:14But I do.
37:15I really, really do.
37:19Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
37:22Um, I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
37:24She is rushing back from her vacation in London, but her plane won't get here until tomorrow afternoon.
37:31It's okay.
37:31Don't worry, all right?
37:32You're not going to be alone.
37:34Every female cop at Mid-Wilshire has volunteered to keep you company in the coming days and weeks.
37:39Yeah, we have your back, Samantha.
37:41For however long you need, until you feel safe.
37:49Hey.
37:50Seth's here.
37:51I'll be in my room.
37:54It's good to see you, too.
37:59Just another fan.
38:01Poor you.
38:01Look, you're right, man.
38:09The self-pity's got to stop.
38:11I want to do better.
38:13But clearly, I don't know how to, and you are the best guy I know, so will you help me?
38:21I would need radical honesty.
38:25One tiny white lie, I'm out.
38:28In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
38:32Still has a sense of humor.
38:34You might make it through this after all.
38:35All right.
38:38No lies, no woes to me.
38:40Just head down, do the work.
38:42Be grateful.
38:43Deal?
38:43Deal.
38:43Deal.
38:45Come here, brother.
38:51Surprise!
38:53Hey, thanks.
38:53Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
38:56You did forget.
38:57Uh, no.
38:58It's definitely not my birthday.
38:59No.
39:03It's a different special day.
39:06Uh, wait, no, it's, oh, my God, it's our anniversary.
39:22It is.
39:24You forgot, and I remember.
39:27Did you?
39:29Totally.
39:31Congrats, grad.
39:35Fine, I forgot, but I had to pull this together fast.
39:40But I remember it before you did, and that's what's important.
39:45Winning?
39:46Yeah.
39:46And you know what else is super important?
39:50No.
39:50What?
39:51The kids are with my mom.
39:53Oh.
39:53Mm.
39:54Hi.
39:57Hey, honey.
39:58How's it going?
40:03Oh, I missed you.
40:05Oh, God, what a day.
40:08How'd it go to the hospital?
40:09It's fine.
40:10Samantha's asleep right now, so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
40:15Mm-hmm.
40:16Do I smell dinner?
40:17Don't get too excited.
40:18I ordered Italian.
40:19It's in the oven.
40:20Keep it warm.
40:21Hmm.
40:22You're a hero.
40:23Hmm.
40:24Oh, God.
40:25Okay, so I need to say something, and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
40:31Okay.
40:32Um, after the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like a refuge and not a
40:40sorting facility, we need to get these damn boxes out of here.
40:44I, I agree.
40:47No time like the present.
40:50Let's do it.
40:51Wait.
40:52Hold on.
40:53I'm tired.
40:54I'm very tired.
40:55I thought maybe we could have dinner, and then I would, I could, I could sit here and supervise.
41:02I mean, how can I refuse that offer?
41:07You can't.
41:08All right.
41:09I'll get dinner.
41:14Yep.
41:29Good work today, Officer Nola.
41:31Thanks.
41:32How come I don't feel better about it?
41:36I think you know the answer.
41:39Yeah.
